Work, Outfits and of course Leopard Print

At work we try to make it fun and have a certain day where we have a theme. Example: Wear something leopard print or all wear the same top but each in a different colour. I suggested, "Lets all wear heels!". SO Friday we all wore heels. I didn't last very long in my heels.


Flynn Sleeveless Leopard Print Top
Simba Blazer
Ritchie Skinny Jeans
Black Wedges
All Cotton On. Wedges: Rubi


Here is all the management team...including MOI! The AWESOME FOURSOME! I love this photo because I'm laughing, I'm always laughing. Sorry for the poor quality photos, we got a customer to take photos for us in the store off my iPhone. 

Cotton On has a foundation over in Mannya, Uganda where all money raised goes to the little village to help support with health, education, infrastructure and sustainabilityy. Last month over two days we had a massive Charity Day where the theme was School. All our charity products we sold over the two days, all the money raised would help the kids in Mannya get a bus to school or a new orphanage. Here is a photo of three of us in our school theme.


Sunday I finally visited a Rubi Shoe store and found these platform wedges and HAD to get them. 


Oh my god! I am in love with them! When I get 50% I couldn't pass. I got them for $20!!!

I know, I REALLY have to stop buying leopard print. But it's just an obsession I have that I just can't shake.

Goodbye PipCQ....



Last week I made a hard decision to close down my Etsy and Made It online stores. I started PipCQ Designs as my plan after I got married was to start a family. I created PipCQ so I could work from home. In may this year I got a full time job. Within five weeks into the job I got promoted. I love my job so much, I haven't felt this happy in a long time. My main focus is my job and my selfish ways. Starting a family has taken a back seat now. I am really enjoying life, I feel it's only getting better now and I'm 28. ALot of people my age are having children, but to me it seems so far away now. I feel I have so much more to see and do in my life. I know people say you can do all these things with children but at the moment the main person in my life that's important is MYSELF! Oh and of course the husband to be :) 

I was hoping to start a Millinery course this year but I hadn't saved enough money to pay for the course. Now with a full time job I will be able to afford this course next year. So don't worry more creative pieces will be coming this way again.

Splish Splash

I've been searching online for some cossies to wear to Thailand and my honeymoon. The Tigerlilly ones I bought aren't so ideal. I think I will stay away from strapless bikinis. Here's one I've fell in love with. A local surf shop has this bikini but not in my size. I tried the size 8 (wishful thinking) and it was a little too small.


Ripcurl Bikini. 

Theres something about stripes that I love so much.


 Billabong Bikini.

I love the pastels in this bikini.


Volcom Bikini

I've been on the search for maxi dresses too. I think they will be staples in my wardrobe for Summer that's for sure. I LOVE LOVE this red and white stripe maxi.


Billabong Maxi

I really should stop online shopping!!! But I am just excited about Summer!

Geometric Four eyes

Tomorrow I am heading to OPSM to get my eyes tested and get some brand new glasses. They have a buy one pair get the second pair half price. I have already found one pair I am definitely buying. Their Ray Bans.



The second pair I'll buy will be a simple pair for my wedding day. I've decided to stay with plastic frames. TO go back to metal would be silly. Plastic suits me much more. I have no idea what other pair I am going to get. Finding glasses can sometimes be fun and exciting. Other times it can be depressing and time consuming. Fingers crossed I'm not in there for too long. 

Today I purchased a beautiful maxi dress online for only $29.00! It is 100% silk and was originally $125! 



I have a wedding to go to in October so I'll be wearing this number to it. I prefer to wear prints to a wedding. I also have this horrible thought of turning up to a wedding in the same colour as the bridesmaids. Silly I know! But I've had a few people ask me what colour my bridesmaids are so they don't wear the same colour.

Here's a little outfit post for you too. This is what I wore to work today. Bad move wearing a skirt... the wind wasn't so kind to me today when I was walking to the bank.





Jacket: Cotton On
Top: Cotton On
Skirt: Cotton On
Tights; Cotton On
Boots: Rubi 

Excuse the messy hair....bloody windy weather. xxx

Not Forgotten

WOW! I haven't posted for 2 weeks. That's pretty huge for me. Time flies when you're having fun.  I guess I better show you some photos to make up for lost time....2 weeks, sheesh.




All clothes from Cotton On
Boots: RMK

This outfit is from the other week. I had all intentions to blog as I of course took a photo of my outfit.  I now have four of these Maddie Mullets from work. Their just so comfortable! 

Today I went into work and grabbed a few things. Once a month we get uniform deals. They pick certain styles and we get them for a really great price. Better then our 50% deal. 




For the both it was $15! Sorry for the poor quality photo of the skirt. I took so many and I couldn't get a good one. I also got this dress to wear whilst I'm Thailand for a girls trip/my hens in 50 sleeps!!!




AND I've bought some heels from work as well. We're going to have a heel day where everyone at work has to wear heels. Should be fun!





I haven't worn any of them yet. Can't wait to eventually wear them.  Well that's me for now, I shall be back... I swear!

Mullet Head



Maddie Mullet Top
Long sleeve top
Annie skirt
Tights
All Cotton On
Shoes: Windsor Smith

This was my outfit I wore to work today. I have three of these Maddie Mullet tops in different prints. They've been out for a while and I wasn't too sure about them as they don't look very nice on the hanger.  But trust me they are the most comfortable top I have worn. 

Today I picked up from the post office my parcel that I ordered off Ozsale.com.au. I bought a Tigerlilly bikini and hat. 




I decided on a strapless bikini to wear while in Thailand for my hens party. I don't think bikini straps sun tan will look nice on my wedding day. After trying the bikini on, I don't really like how your boobs look in a strapless bikini top. Squashes them down, but hey at least I won't get sun tan marks. My hat got crumpled in the post though :(

Oooooooh third post in a two this week. You all must be proud.

Leopard print...AGAIN!





Today was a super casual outfit to wear to work. All I wanted to do was wear my leopard print shoes! I have a super busy week at work this week. So I am hoping it goes very quick. Ben and I are heading to  Sydney this Friday to see Wu-Tang Clan. A friend bought us tickets as our wedding present, so I'm kinda glad we don't have to pay for them.

Before I go, Cotton On actually have a online store. You should TOTALLY check it out! Here are a few things I've been looking at that are in my store and online.




That's all I really have to say for now. I might post up tomorrow.... if ya lucky :)
